«Mission Impossible» star Tom Cruise reportedly turned down the prestigious Kennedy Center Honor offered by President Donald Trump.
Tom Cruise reportedly turned down an opportunity to receive one of the nation’s highest arts honors from President Donald Trump.
The «Mission: Impossible» star, 63, was offered the prestigious award but declined due to «scheduling conflicts», according to multiple Kennedy Center employees who spoke to The .
Reps for Cruise and the Kennedy Center Honors did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Cruise’s reported rejection comes after Trump announced the stars set to be honored at the highly anticipated ceremony in December earlier this week.
The honorees this year are country legend George Strait, Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone, rock band KISS, English actor Michael Crawford and iconic singer Gloria Gaynor, known for hits like «I Will Survive.»
«I am beyond blessed and honored to be receiving this award. My hope is that in accepting this honor, I can continue with the inspirational phenomenon that began with ‘I Will Survive.
